About this episode
The second episode of The Ottawa Sessions explores the scope of design and, often, redesign, needed to help revitalize the downtown core of our nation's capitol.
From soon-to-be vacant federal buildings to iconic public spaces like the Byward Market, the city has tremendous assets, along with its share of modern urban challenges, to influence a new action plan, 'A Living Capitol,' which CUI has co-developed with the Ottawa Board of Trade, Invest Ottawa and many other regional partners.
Joining CUI president and CEO Mary Rowe at the table are Toon Dreessen, President of Architects DCA, along with Kaite Burkholder-Harris, executive director of the Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa and Zac Dayler, executive director of the Byward Market District Authority.
